You are strong, powerful like none other
You are sympathetic and so selfless
You are available to help those guys
troubles comin' one after another
You alone are my closest, bestest friend;
my mother, father, why not a teacher?
You are a mentor, counselor to looser
No need to be cool to gain you my God
You, the ultimate One: omni- for all
Praise today and forever; join me y'all
(Ode)
I realized many things as the time passed
one of the more important ones being
how much I need and want you beside me
that you're so good, loving of a being
You were always around me, somewhere near
loving, giving, sacrificing and more
but I don't know why I wasn't even
thankful nor fully aware of your love
I was young and reckless, now I see it
I went for something that seemed to look good
I ignored and stepped over your presence;
I was proud and selfish but you were good
I hope it's not too late. Say it's alright
I'm Sorry; would you forgive like always
as you always did, like how you used to
say “no worries” to all of my mistakes
Hope it's not good-bye; hope to see ya soon!
(Elegy)
“Hello” “Hi” That is how everyone starts
A relationship: something that excites me
Something that seems easy, but in real deals
hardest thing; life-long task for you and me
I used to be open and welcoming,
wide open for girls and guys to look in
But it was foolish of me, not understanding
what problems I was placing myself in
heart was scratched, cracked, then broken in half so
I had to take time to heal my heart, dying
to smile and be joyful again although
it was never the same as beginning
I hesitate and take twice longer to
think, reach conclusion, but rethink once more
That's just me. How relationship and you
shaped me and changed my heart into a stone
a stone as cold as winter morning air
still able to heat up once placed just right
by another, a hotter stone, that is
willing to warm and love with the troubled
(Ballad)
Who and why I wondered when I met you
You were like my Birthday gift carefully untied
like how I shook and tried to look inside
thats how I began getting to know you
slowly untying the ribbons and then
ripping out the fine covers well so that
it won't be ugly; that's how I did it
taking the first step, first love in freshmen
sometimes disappointing, if you don't reach
my expectations; other times scary,
how I see that I may get addicted each
morning, day and evening: just so lovely
I wish that you and I will stay the same:
taking each step with care and love. I hope...
(Sonnet)
Catch a passing flock of words
Put them in a pan
To make a happy sonnet
For your favourite man.
Add a pinch of rhythm
A spoonful of rhyme
Pop them in the oven
Then wait some time
Check if they are burning
Consult with your muse
About variety in flavours,
In structure, different views.
Jolly sonnet cakes for tea
Some for you and some for me.
